pink-lipped Negroes:

Some Negros (or Congoids) have pink lips. Most do not. But the pink lipped-Negros catch your eye. So much so, that a racial stereotype developed involving pink-lipped Negros.

If David Ortiz were a pink-lipped Negro, then sure, his bobble head should reflect that. But, as it is, it reflects a stereotype, not the real life man.

As for the teeth, Ortiz is gap-toothed. So that’s o.k.

And, as for the clenched fist, Ortiz is famous for his enthusiasm for the game. His enthusiasm is so infectious! Is that what the clenched fist is supposed to reflect? Or, is it communicating black power? The image is actually totally real. So, to any baseball fan, this part is also o.k.

I may be mistaken but I believe the bobble head of Ortiz is meant to represent his speech on the field at Fenway after the Boston Marathon bombing. That’s about when the ‘Boston Strong’ line originated. His raised fist is not for black power, but defiance towards the terrorists.
